Transgender Triathlete Chris Mosier on Transition and Inclusivity in Sports
Monday, November 7, 2011 – 12:42pm by Danny Heffernan, GLAAD’s Advertising & Campaigns Fellow
As part of our support for the media coverage around Chaz Bono’s casting on “Dancing with the Stars” and an increasing amount of transgender-specific coverage in general, GLAAD is continuing to profile prominent transgender advocates and members of the community on a weekly basis. Previously, we spoke with Laverne Cox, Jamison Green, Ph.D., Stephanie Battaglino and Mari Rosenberger, Noah Lewis, and Bamby Salcedo. This week, we spoke with Chris Mosier about competing as a transgender athlete, breaking down gender stereotypes in sports, and being an advocate for social justice.
